Abstract (en)

[origin: US4479128A] A re-polarization means for generating circular polarized electro-magnetic waves using single or multi-layer lattice structure mounted in front of a radiation aperture with the lattice structure comprising a plurality of conductors which extend parallel to each other and/or meander shaped and wherein the lattice structure has one or more additional layers which are closer to the radiation aperture and which has a plurality of parallel conductors but that are inclined by an angle of 45 DEG relative to the direction of the conductors mounted on the other layers which meander. Additionally, orthogonal polarization suppression is achieved with the apparatus of the invention. The invention can be applied to a radom of a target tracking radar antenna, for example.
